10 Overpowered Characters That DESTROYED Players Online

5. Seer - Apex Legends (Season 10)

Developer-approved wall hacks in shooters are just as broken as the illegitimate kind. Who knew? Respawn definitely didn't, as it decided to ship a character with exactly that skillset back in Season 10, to disastrous results. 

All three core components of the Ambush Artist's kit revolve around surveillance of the battlefield, chiefly of opponents and their location. When you and your squad know what to expect at any given moment, the upper hand has already been provided. For an added layer of bullshitery, though, Seer could also tap into Survey Beacons littered around each map. Doing so would preemptively let your crew discern where the next ring location would settle, allowing for brutal ambush plays.

The worst offense from all this, though, is that Seer's game plan severely punished teams that were already fighting a losing battle. Matches would be won or lost depending on whether an enemy Seer had chosen you to be its prey. Respawn eventually reined in the overtuned hero, with last year's patch neutering his win rate for good.
